Good morning, good morning Will soon have the house to myself - daughter has gone to work and son is up getting himself ready to go too. Have to go out quickly to pick up a parcel, get a few bits for tonite's meal but the rest of the day is mine - all mine. Sposed to be fine today but notice the fog has rolled in. Laurie - thinking of you and your friends - what a horrible time Yvette - you are a clever clogs - all the best Trifley - welcome home - sit back, feet up, drink up Mary - take it easy - a day of rest will do you the world of good. You couldn't get a better day for moving - very auspicious day the 9th August!!!! Tassie - oohhh lucky you - getting to move and have a clean up at the same time - something I desperately need but don't think it's going to happen any time soon - will just have to have the clean up instead - lol Vonny - will clean out the inbox so you can re-send Off to have brekky, back bit later Have a great day peeps ~~~~~~~~~~waving~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gwenda

Good Morning Lovely Wattlers and a special Good Morning to Our Queen Trifley. Welcome home. Now relax and let Nefer and the brothers tend to your every need. Quote for today especially for you Trifles: 'I'll have a cafe-mocha-vodka-valium-latte to go, please.' heeeeee And Welcome Back to Lara! I was going to say that the thread has been quiet without you, but I think you can see that we have prattled on quite nicely, lol. Rebs, where are you hiding girl? Get your butt back here! Laurie, what a terrible situation! I just don't think your friend would want to live like that. And what are her parents thinking? What a burden, not only on them, but the rest of the family, and for how long? Perhaps their doctor can talk a bit of sense to them. Yes, living in a small country town does have it's advantages. People really do rally around when something like this happens. SuzyQ. What have you given me with your Evangeline Dean? A headache, that's what! Have her on the 1861 Census and then they lot of them disappear. I wonder if they migrated somewhere? The fog is heavy over Mudgee town this morning. It'll take a couple of hours to lift. At least we've had some rain. Total over the last 3 days was about an inch on the old scale. Hope everyone has a warm and wonderful day. I'll chat again soon. Lew Lew xxx

Good morning Wattlers, Can't see anything outside - I'm all fogged in, and it is raining, so dont know how many giraffes are doing what this morning. If all is going according to plan then our Queen will be chaffing at the bit at the moment - bags packed - waiting for the doors to open so she can get out of that darn hospital and home with Graeme and Mark where she belongs. Welcome home Di, bet it feels great !!!! I can't do any H********K . . . because the water is off while the plumber repairs the shower - so have to sit at the puter !! At last an excuse !!! Just been checking my mail . . Wow DIY Jude, can't rely on good service anywhere these days can you . . . 3 times to get your car clean - thats terrible! I think you should talk to Lady Lew, you may have photographic proof there to support a class action against the car wash company. The way the guy is leaning on your soft top cant be good for the car. I reacon you should sue the pants off them . . . . tee heee Be back later - need a coffee cheers luv Laurie

Good Morning Wattlers Well we have finally got rain as well today they have forecast rain from about Saturday. It is not real heavy just showers at the moment. Laurie, yes some doctors really make you wonder. I know my parents will get out to see me probably still every week as Dad is often in the hospital having an MRI or some other check done. Its just that over the last 4 and half years (5 in Dec) I have seen more of Mum and Dad than any other time since I moved out of home and I have got used to their regular visits. Gwenda yes I suppose that is a good reason to move, I often say that about the ex as he is often moving and not real good with housework so we say, when he has a move must be time for him to do housework lol. Yes it is what I was talking about when I mentioned about some good news earlier, but I was more hoping it had of been another house that the landlord put an offer in which is only in the next suburb, but he didnt get the ok for that one, anyway I suppose beggars cant be choosers, and if it is a bit more modern and warmer, then that is a good thing. At the moment I am sitting here with hair dye in my hair waiting for time to go so I can wash it out, so now I've had hair cut, hair colour, what else can I do in readines for the events over the next couple of weeks ........................................ Nah cant think of anything else to do, I think I am past help in everything else, so everyone will have to put up with me the way I am lol. Trifley a big welcome home today. Hope you are feeling ok with your cold and its not getting you down too much. Hello to everyone else I havent mentioned. Will be back shortly when I wash dye out. 17 Sleeps, Cheers Sue

Hi everyone Just a quick one as we have to go sign more blooming papers.. Wet here today but not to cold.. Welcome home Trifle.. Welcome Back Lara... Where is our Rebs... Tassie You will look beautiful... Laurie my heart goes out to you and Den and her family.. What a dreadful thing to have to go through..Prayers for them.and you...look after yourself.. Must go so back later... Love Maryxxx

Mary - what haven't you signed???? Ask them if you need to sign the Magna Carta as well - sounds like you've signed just about everything else. - pmsl Tassie - it's not the package we come in but what comes from the package that we love - but does that mean I have to do me roots before we meet - can't have peeps seeing me bits of grey - lol Seems its foggy most places - ours has lifted and little bit of blue showing thru in spots - getting some washing done that will need to be hung out while the going is good - might get rain again tomorrow Bet Lara is champing at the bit to have a really big waffle - we're all looking forward to catching up properly - seems ages since you've been able to do that - well it has been hasn't it - lol Look back in later Gwenda

Morning again Awwh Mary you are soo kinds and you havent met me yet lol. Gwenda yes that is why I dyed my hair it was not only a bit of the roots that was grey it was about 2 inches of grey that was showing. I couldnt go to Nans party with all the other grandkids looking young and me being a grey haired ol person. Its bad when you are the eldest grandchild and the youngest is about 20 years younger, also when you inherit early grey hair from your parents, like in your 20's it doesnt help :-(( Shazz, I forgot to mention yesterday, I already have my Red and White hat for the Casino and I'll wear my hat if you also have one and wear yours lol. Well it is nearly lunch time, better go and make a roast beef sandwich, be back later. Cheers Sue

Good Morning, See I managed to get on before lunch today. Laurie, your friends are very lucky to have you. In times of stress I think you would be the one they can depend on. I don't think Denny sounds like a person who would like to be kept alive in a vegetative ( sp ) state. Lew will email you re Evangeline. Welcome Home Trifley, I am sure you will get better much quicker at home, hospitals are not the best places to recover. Look forward to your daily messages again. Lara, I also look forward to your messages as I cannot skip though them quickly, they need to be read slowly to understand them LOL Jood, Wilson, I saw a program where all the properties in the WA mining areas were very expensive because of the mining boom. That is probably the reason why accomodation is so expensive. Apparently there are not enough house for everyone. And the wages are really good. Mary, you naughty girl, you shouldn't be moving boxes. You should wait and get one of your sons to do that for you. Keep up your strength for the Casino meet LOL Seriously though, I think it was my grandma that said to wear the young ones out first. I thought that I must be the odd one because I do not like Guy Sebastion, that is the fault with the program. People should be voting for the contestant and not the singer. This week Erica has to sing opera and that is also unfair when the others don't have to. I think I will complain. oing now, back after lunch Luv SuzyQ

Back again . . . sharing a poem written by my sister Cherry .......................... WATTLE The pungent scent of wattle blossom permeates the air and miles and miles of yellow fluff with wattle everywhere. So many different species in every shade of gold, depending on the type of land or if the winter's cold. Out 'back of Bourke' they're spindly but a couple of types are found. Some with prickles, some ferny leaves. The blooms some long, some round. Some know it as mimosa but know it not as we for whom this bloom can represent a love of brown country. When I was just a little girl, some fifty years ago, I learned sweet songs of wattle time and can't let the memories go. Today I heard a choir sing the same sweet words I knew. I sang along, the tears flowed free. Do I love this land? I do. ................. cheers luv Laurie

Thanks Laurie, that was brilliant. What a clever sister you have. Lew x

Arv'o Wattlers. Luvly day in Molbin. Sun shining brightly now, after a foggy morning. Fog was so bad yesterday around Melb. couldn't see 20 feet in front of you.

See you all later cheers Sandra in the Gong.

Helloooo Wattlers My ISP has been having probems with overseas connections so I have not been able to get on here today - they still don't have it sorted so I may drop out any minute! A huge weelcome home for the Queen - doesn't she just look the part with her lazyboy - the chair, not Nefer - but Nefer is there at the ready I see. Pour me a martooni, rub my back, peel me a grape, brew me a strong coffee! Go for it girl - let them all wait on you! Oh Lara - you ninny! We'll just have to party without you! Oh well - SILENCE IS GOLDEN so they say! You can fit in with the golden theme after all Lovely poems from Tony and from Laurie's sister. Such a talented bunch of Wattlers on here..... Laurie - thinking of you. What a heart breaking situation. Cheers to everyone else - I hope the international problem is fixed by this evening or I will miss out on the party!! If I had a golden umbrella With the sunshine on the inside And a rainbow on the outside If I had a golden umbrella A wonderful world it would be. etc etc ....... Got to go Love Anna

Good Afternoon girls, Thanks for the chat this afternoon girls, I really enjoyed it. Much better than talking to myself. Loved the poem Laurie, we should adopt it as our anthem, to be read at the begining of all meetings. All the ayes raise your hand? Lew, just ordered the birth certificate so the mystery should be solved. How is the house Devily. Hope it is really nice and warm and modern and a nice neighbourhood. Infact perfect. I will look in tonight to see if the party is in full swing. I will be wearing canary yellow with a silver and lilac tarara. Laurie, you can get really nice tararas that are not pretentious from Tiffany's, otherwise know as Crazy Clark's. I will bring along the cheese nibbles and a nice bottle of red. Bye for now Luv SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers. I've been up to the letterbox to put the numbers on, so now maybe some mail will find us, lol. Not only did the dog come for the walk to the front gate, but so did the cat! Not bad considering it's about a kilometre. Funny cat! He's now just lying on my lap, while I'm trying to type. Trifley, I hope the house was spick and span when you got home! Otherwise, you may have to smack Nefer (ooooo goody, can I watch, lol) I second the motion, SuzyQ. Cherry's poem as our Anthem! Hope you sort your Evangelina out. Off to do more research. Lew xxx

Ok you lot.....you're gonna have to watch yer selves.....I'm baaaaack! Finally caught up on the 9 pages of wonderful waffle. But I'm sure I missed some things as I saw Yvette playing with cadavers but missed the post about why...pmsl Graeme is hassling me to have a rest before the cocktail hour so this is only a quick post. I'll check back later. love Trifley X
